Our new friend Roman

Wooffff everyone

I’ve been on FOND duty again this week, a friend of my Dad’s has asked me to have a chat to their dog Roman, I was like “ohhhh noooooo not again” I remember last time he did this to me I ended up with Olga!! – and I’ve not been able to shake her off since!

Anyway, Mum and Dad went round to see Roman’s Mum and Dad and they said he is really nice and friendly, Mum was going on and on about how cute he was and how friendly he was - I remember seeing that look in my Mum’s eyes before, she goes all gooey eyed! I had to give her a quick wash to snap her out of it.

I told Olga she better be on her best behaviour and if she feels like it limp a bit and demand cuddles of Mum, that way Mum will forget about this Roman fella. I cannot share anymore of my Dad with someone else, I’ll be at breaking point lol

I got Dad up early on Sunday, he kept going on about the clocks going back and I should still be in bed??. I think Dad is losing his mind, where are the clocks going back to I asked him, and he just turned over and tried to ignore me! – I soon sorted Dad out – a quick foot wash always gets him up lol.. I can never wake Mum up for some reason.

Mum said she was coming out with us for our walk but she had to pick something up first, and she would meet us there. Me, Dad and Olga set off to the fields and we were having a play with our Frisbees when Mum turned up in Little John’s van. I’d gotten wiff of a furry and was chasing it through the long grass, when I heard Olga start shouting, I looked up and saw Mum walking towards us with another Dobie on a lead! Olga went running up to see it, and of course I thought “Oh nooo she hasn’t” I ran up and introduced myself and the top dog. Mum told us this was Roman and he was coming for a play with us. I picked my Frisbee up and said he could play with Olga’s. Dad said “it’s ok I’ve lent him one of yours Louis” – I was gob smacked!

Roman was a bit shy and stayed next to Mum, until we got on the field and then Dad let him have my old Frisbee, bless him he didn’t know what to do with it at first, so when Dad threw it, he just looked as if to say “Ok what do you want me to do?” Olga of course ran after it and nicked it. I explained to Roman that he is meant to chase after it and then run around but make sure Dad doesn’t get it back :D

He soon got the hang of it, and seemed to enjoy the game, and to be honest I quite enjoyed having a run around with a proper dog! And not a wuss like Olga hehe.

I hope he keeps in touch

Love Louis and Olga.
